Abstract: An invention is provided for vehicle window shade having variable opacity and diaphaneity. The invention includes a first piece of fabric and a second piece of fabric, both having a front side and a reverse side. The second piece of fabric is attached at one end to the first piece of fabric such that they overlay each other when unrolled. Both the first piece of fabric and the second piece of fabric have a quantity of hook material disposed around the edge of the front side of the fabric and a quantity of felt disposed around the edge of the reverse side of the fabric. Thus, an end of the vehicle window shade can be attached to a vehicle ceiling via the first quantity of hook material. Typically, the first piece of fabric has a higher level of opacity than the second piece of fabric.
